Send us a textWhat if your spiritual life felt less like a checklist and more like a living connection that fuels every part of your day? Daniel and Michelle Moore sit down with author and teacher Kim McIntire to unpack what it truly means to abide in Christ from John 15—and how a simple, consistent rhythm of Scripture, prayer, and praise can move you from duty to delight. Kim shares her journey from faithful routines to a deep hunger for God’s presence, the moment a Bible class flipped a switch, and why the cost of intimacy is not perfection but time.Together, they explore the difference diligent seeking makes in real life: calmer responses under pressure, unexpected compassion for hard people, and the power to forgive when the flesh wants to hold a grudge. Kim opens up the structure behind her seven-lesson Abide study—start with worship, ask concise questions of the text, respond personally, and practice diverse forms of prayer. You’ll hear how reading the same chapter across a group often yields unique insights for each person, a reminder that God meets us individually through the same living Word. We also talk about frequency: why one day in the Bible offers little traction but four to five days builds discernment, joy, and spiritual resilience.Kim’s stories bring prayer to life, including a “victory shout” that turned despair into hope, and a reflective exercise that compares your most valuable human relationship to your walk with God. Time, mutuality, encouragement, accountability, listening, presence, trust—these are the ingredients of abiding, and they’re available to anyone hungry for God. If you’ve felt stuck, distracted, or unsure where to start, this conversation offers clear next steps and a warm push to try ten minutes today and let appetite grow.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review—your support helps more people learn how to abide and bear lasting fruit.If you would like to purchase either of Kim's books, the links are below:AmazonAbiding Conversations: https://a.co/d/cJqBRESAbide: John 15:4 7 Lesson Study: https://a.co/d/5QciyWhThey are also available at Barnes and Noble and as an e-book.Support the showContact us at It's Time to Rise Up Podcast Website: https://www.itstimetoriseup.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theofficialitstimetoriseup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_official_rise_up/ You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@itstimetoriseuppodcast Contact us at https://itstimetoriseup.org/#contact Spotify direct link: https://open.spotify.com/show/5SzKvDQE5CIzgSFYCiI1U4?si=a24d084355f74782 Apple Podcast direct link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-time-to-rise-up/id1759633006 It's Time to Rise Up Podcast does not own the rights to any audio clips or bumper music embeds used in the episodes from third party resources.Thanks for listening and please subscribe!
